Hilton Grand Vacations experiences demand seasonality for its products and services, with revenues typically weakening in the fourth quarter. Despite broader macroeconomic uncertainties, demand for luxury properties and travel services has remained resilient. The company has observed consistent improvement in Vacation Ownership Interval (VOI) tours, with both existing owners and new buyers contributing to growth. The HGV Max membership program has also demonstrated strong consumer appeal and growth, adding approximately 70,000 members in the third quarter of 2025 alone, indicating stable demand for flexible vacation ownership options. HGV's focus on high-demand markets like Hawaii and Japan further positions it to capitalize on the demand for premium travel experiences.
